Summary
Hello, my name is Layna Thomas, and although this is my first year in college, I am coming in as a sophomore at CNU. I am a very detail-oriented person with experience in behavior intervention. This area requires skills ranging from effective crisis management and data collection to client communication and the training of developmental skills in the natural environment. I am proficient in colleague and client communication, data analysis, organizational skills, and implementing treatment strategies for positive client outcomes.
